Interlibrary Loan

If we don’t have what you’re looking for at Stanford, we will get it for you. We partner with libraries around the world to provide the current Stanford GSB community free access to almost anything that exists in other libraries, including:

  • Books, DVDs, microfilm, periodicals, and newspapers

  • Scanned PDFs of book chapters and articles by email

Faculty & Staff: Use our Document Delivery service to request any materials be delivered directly to you from our collections or other libraries.

Find Materials

  • SearchWorks - For books, journals, magazines, and newspapers at Stanford’s Libraries
  • Academic journals and articles - Available through Stanford’s Libraries and beyond
  • WorldCat - Global catalog with millions of records from contributing libraries
